John Henry alias Skinner the Man
And Pursuing Parties Close
en- His Trail.

All last week posses were securing
the southern portion OF the county
close on the trail of John Skinner
the negro who shot and perhaps IA
tally wounded Ballard Fourquean
on the Oath inst. The chain of cir
cumstanccs is so strong that there Is
scarcely adoubt that Skinner is the
guilty party. Sarah Goode, col, saw
him come down the road, Mrs. Nor
ris saw man get in the wagon, Car
ter Reynolds saw him and Four
quean's description fits Skinner ex-
actly. He has been seen several
times near Beverley, lodging around.
Sam Radford talked with him and
learned afterwards who he was. l..
w. Means got so close to him that he
shot at him twice, but he escaped.
Sam Radford reports having again
seen him IN the woods cooking some
meat Saturday night, having built a
fro In a cane .h!cket. He could find
nobody to help him arrest him that
night and the next day he was gone.
1t is probable that he is being shelf
cred by somebody, as no man could
stay out long such weather as this.
Several persons are still out and 1t is
to be hoped the rascal will be arrest
ed and put where he will do no
further trouble. 1t is also pretty
certain that he is the same negro
who shot at George Knight about
two weeks ago. The description
suits him and on Tuesday before that
shooting he robbed Jas. W. Radford's
house during the absence of the fam
lily. A pistol and other articles were
taken, one of which, arazor, has since
been found and identified. The
party having it got it from Skinner
in trade. lie is a eery bad egg and
should be run in by all means. A
reward of $50 is offered and this
should be supplemented until it is
large enough to secure his capture.
AN ARREST MADE.
Frank Morris got on the track of a
suspected party at Kelly Saturday
and captured him at Henderson Sun
day and brought him 10 Jail yester-
day morning. He was looked at by
Sarah Goode and Fourquean, but
proved to be the wrong man and was
sent back to Henderson. He gave his
name as Jordan Caldwell, of Smith
land, .and said he came to Henderson
from Mt. Vernon, Ind. He does not
answer the description of Skinner
and is undoubtedly the wrong man,
though he has very likely been at
some devilment, as he tried In every
way to dodge the officers who were
after him.

WE call attention to the card of Mr..
Paul M. Brlce, in another column, and
desire to state in connection there
with that we are the authors of the
articles referred to, and are fully re-
.sponsible for the sentiments expressed
in tho same. e.-EDs.
The News and Courier Is right for
once. The Charleston postoffico should
be built of Fairfield county granite.
There is no stone in the world stronger
or more beautiful, and it's use would
bring very large SUM Of money into
the State of which everybody would
receive some-the Fairfield farmers
who would help feed the extra work.
men, merchants in various parts Of
the State who would sell goods 10
them, the railroads which would do
the hauling and the capitalists who
would receive fair return for their
money. 1t would be entirely proper
for the Senators and Representatives
from this State to give some time and
work to having Carolina granite used
instead Of marble and iron from other
States. The South ought to be allowed
to realize on what drippings sho docs
get from the Federal treasury

positive; 1t was content to guard the
rights of men leaving progress, intel
lectual and otherwise to the unrestricted
play of natural forces--to the deeper
wisdom Of nature. 1t never tried, as
the new schoolis trying, to shape the
ends Of all things. II
Heretofore we have supported the
public school system, justifying, or
trying to justify II, on the ground Of
imperative necessity, but recent cxpe-
rlences have not been such as incline
us to the proposition to extend tho
principle. We have been almost
ready to say, "Rack to the common
lawp
The question which now confronts
us is, how far can we 60, or, rather,
how far will the dominant Democracy
of the future gop Wo have cstab-
lished precedent of universal appli-
cation. With the taxing power we
have established schools and built
costly edifices for educational pur-
poses; we have built railroads for
private parties; we have dug canals,
tunneled the mountains, organized
and equipped public charities, and all
In defnance of the rights of protesting
minorities. "It is all for tho public
good," wo arc told, and "men ought
to help their follow-men. ARMED
with the "taxing power" this new
militant bencvolence threatens to de-
stroy the very energies that have mado
civilization possible.
The Democracy should be taught TO
believe that they should supplement
tho school fund with private subscrip-
tions, and when they want to build o
railroad to do it, but not by forcing
the funds out Of the pockets of all
unwilling minority by means of "local
taxation."

Tho SoIdiers' Home.

Tho Senate has passed q pension
bill giving to the disabled Confederate
soldiers and sailors Of this State five
dollars per month; the bill will doubt
less also be passed by tho House. On
the calendar of the Hourso another
bill is ponding, If it too, like the SEN
ato bill, has not passed to third read
ing. We refer to the bill to establish
soldiers home. This last bill, it is
to be hoped, will be killed by tho
Senate or vetoed by the Governor.
From whatever point Of view this bill
is contemplated it is open to the sus.
picion Of being a shrewd dodge to
catch tho 'soldier vote" In the first
place, 1t will tako thousands of dollars
to build the homo, and thousands moro
moro to keep it going, it will have to
have It's "officers" and "stewards,"
who will doubtless be chosen, to tho
disgust of the inmates, from the hun
CRY veterans Of tho political fold.
Better save the money that would be
required to build and operate this in
stitution to pay tho pensions with, as
they fall due. There arc other objec-
tions to tho "homo;" it would bo o
homo only IN name. It's little bosses
would imbibe that spirit of arrogance;
thoy would manifest that unboarable
insolence of office" which Is borne of
power in little minds. The "homo"
would not prove that haven of rest,
hich the beneyolonco that supported
1T would have 1t be. Let the money
which this bill would require go into
tho pension fund.

Local Taxation Again.

Commenting upon our article on
local taxation for school purr oscs, the
Columbia Record has this to say:
However, correct may be this view
or the taxing power, considered with
reference to tho ancient, not to say
effctc doctrines of tho common law,
the practice of levying taxes through
tho action of tho people themselves is
too we'll established for the Legislature
to "pigeon-hole" a suggestion to OK.
tend the practice for tho good of COM
munities Interested in popular educa-
ton. The power to levy taxes is, un-
questionably, vested in the House of
Representatives. But where the Leg
lslature refers to the people themselves
to determine the rate of taxation for q
PARTICULAR purpose, the body valves
mono of it's prerogatives. No special
tax can be enforced without tho con-
sent Of the body. All tho machinery
to ascertain tho will Of tho "township
mob" is the creature Of tho law-mak-
ing power. When that power finds
that tho privilege of levying these
special taxes has been abused, the
privilege may bo withdrawn as readily
as 1t was given.
The concluding opinion of the
Record that "the privilege may be
withdrawn as readily as it was givcn,"
is an unverificd hypothesis, to say the
least about it. True, tho "machincry
for ascertaining" tho will of the
"township mob" is the creature of the
law-making power; so also is the
"law-making power" tho creature Of
tho "township mob" There is moth
ing paradoxical in this; it is simple
truism.
But popular government would bo
curse rather than blessing, were it
not that somehow or other in the
clash of mon in popular government
tho wiscst and tho best are usually
driven to the front and given the func-
ton of making and administering
laws. The voice of duty to these is
plain and unequivocal; they are COM
manded to go courageously forward
III tho exercise Of that superior wis
dom and virtue, thoguidanco of which
the people have invoked. TO pause,
falter and remit the decision of great
questions to the doubtful wisdom of
numerical H1aioritics in election dis
tricts, is simply to abdicate a we'll
nigh sacred function. May we not
also remark, that when all the great
political questions have been deter
mined after this manner that repre-
sentative government, in the con-
seriousness of its failure, will have re-
turned it's trust2
There arc other objections. The
Record refers contemptuously to the
"effete doctrines Of the common law"
but the Record will not forget that the
common law with all of its short
comings, never forgot it's mission; it
mover lost sight Of the fact that it's
functions were negative rather than

Irrigation Near Carson

The following letter from a gen
tleman of experience in matters re-
lating to irrigation, explains it
self:
FRANKTowN, January 90, 1887.
To Hon. Wells Drury: com
pliance with your request on my in
PRODUCTION to you on the Goth, for
me to give you my ideas on storing
water for irrigating and other pur-
poses in the vicinity OF Carson, l
will say that in looking over the
books you gave me l find in one of
them, viz: The report of the Sur
veyor General and State Land Reg
lister for the years 1885. j. d.
Kersey, Assessor for Ormsby
county, on page 46, has so well ex-
planned the advantages arising from
making artificial lakes, that it
leaves but one more advantage that
| can think of that would arise
from the same. An ice crop could
be gathered from these lakes, being
high up in the mountains. Ice
forms in November. | was talking
to Doc. Benton about the ice bust
ness, stating that Mr.. Price, of
Washoe valley always has ice be-
cause he can get it every season up
in the mountains.
There is little valley West of
Washoe valley, also a valley on
Clear Greek, where the old Dries
bach fume runs. Good perpendic-
ular rocks at the outlet Of the val
ley, can be seen on the grade going
to Lake Tahoe. 1t lies in the di-
rection of Swift Station. The dams
requil ed for safety, should be en-
the same principle as the Marlett
Lake dam, with a COED overflow
outlet / believe sufficient water
could be caught on Clear Creek to
irrigate all the land from the State
Prison to Carson Valley, and the
little valley lake could irrigate the
ranches that have no water, at the
South end Of Washoe Valley; then
take it to the East side of Washoe
Lake, or Lake View, to the North
of Carson City, or it may be enough
for both place.
| There is the rock at each place
waiting to be used. 100000 spent
for labor and cement would be q
start in the right direction, causing
an increase in population and tax
able property, beneftting trade
State and Government.
II / have not the least doubt as t.
there being many places to b,
| found where water can be storet
and used to work mills and come II
for irrigstinR purposes afterwards
as explained more fally in Mr.
t Kersey's report.
Very respectfully,
i j. j. ABRAHAM.
